In the past I always reset my kit to officer after spawning with a regular kit to insure that I would spawn with the correct kit the next time I died. This is not possible with the changes made to the kit request screen (only allowing you to change when dead). While I like the change I spawn with the wrong kit more often than not because I can't select it ahead of time. I also have an issue with joining a game in progress, creating a squad and not being able to spawn with the officer kit right away, limiting my ability to use the SL options like mortars and Hideouts until I die again or suicide.

I would like the Officer kit to be able to be requested at a cache or the command post.
